Chocolate Milk With A Twist

What would I do without my Facebook friends updating me about weird unofficial holidays? This morning I learned that today is National Chocolate Milk Day.  Time to celebrate!

I love chocolate, and I love milk.  Put the two of them together and it's heavenly.  Over the years I've come up with my own spin on the drink by substituting coffee and nonfat dry milk for the more traditional ingredients.  In honor of the day I poured myself a mug, added milk powder, a spoonful of cocoa, and a healthy splash of agave.  I stirred everything together and added a couple of ice cubes to chill it.

It didn't take long for me to drain the cup.

Five years ago today: Road Trip!

  1. That actually sounds really good! I might have to have a cup myself to celebrate the day.

    1. If you looked hard enough I think you could come up with an 'edible' holiday almost every day.

  4. Yeah, where is the book for these "days". I haven't had chocolate milk since I was pregnant in 2004. I don't like the way milk tastes so I was trying to get in my milk by drinking chocolate milk.

    1. There's several Websites that list offbeat holidays. Or you can do like me and rely on Facebook :-)
